Adding an avatar

To get an avatar (image that shows on the left of your posts next to your name) you first need to select your picture and make it the right size - it can be no bigger than 80 x 80 pixels or 19.5Kb in size. If you have no image editing software you can do it online at imageshack or other photo editing sites. Once you have resized out your image, you need to save it or copy it to your computer.

Go into the coffeehouse www.netmums.com/coffeehouse

Next click on the Settings link near the top left of the screen and scroll down to the Edit Avatar link.

The default setting is Do not use an avatar which you need to change by selecting the Use Custom Avatar option. Now you need to use the Upload Image From Your Computer: option, to find the image on your pc. Once you have found it you need to click on the Open button.

To save the avatar you need to click on the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen. Your avatar should now show next to all your posts now.
